Line 119:
* Subverted in ''[[Zack and Miri Make a Porno]]'', with two gay lovers with the name of one being a play on the name of the actor playing another: Bobby ''Long'' played by ''Brandon'' Routh and ''Brandon'' St. Randy played by Justin ''Long''.
* In ''[[Observe and Report]]'' the twin security guards John and Matt are played by John and Matthew Yuan.
* Egyptian American actor Ahmed Ahmed has played a few roles as Ahmed, and many others [[As Himself|as himself]].
* Every single character in ''[[Purple Rain]]'' shares their actor's first name except for that played by Prince (his name is The Kid) and his movie mother and father (they have fictional names).
* [[Stephen Chow]] directs and plays a character named Stephen Chow in ''[[God of Cookery]]''. A particularly brave example since he sets himself up as an [[Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist]] from the beginning.
Line 190:
* In ''[[Titanic]]'', the modern-time crew (aside from Brock Lovett, played by Bill Paxton) are named after the actors portraying them, e.g. Lewis Bodine is played by Lewis Abernathy. The crew in question is also the real-life crew of the ship.
* Eddie Redmayne as "Eddie" in ''Hick''.
